We can't take for granted that the hard limit for open files is
big enough as to allow to delay closing sockets to a timer.
Store the value of RTLIMIT_NOFILE we set at start, and use it to
understand if we're approaching the limit with pending, spliced
TCP connections. If that's the case, close sockets right away as
soon as they're not needed, instead of deferring this task to a
timer.

With a lot of concurrent connections, the bitmap scan approach is
not really sustainable.
Switch to per-connection timerfd timers, set based on events and on
two new flags, ACK_FROM_TAP_DUE and ACK_TO_TAP_DUE. Timers are added
to the common epoll list, and implement the existing timeouts.
While at it, drop the CONN_ prefix from flag names, otherwise they
get quite long, and fix the logic to decide if a connection has a
local, possibly unreachable endpoint: we shouldn't go through the
rest of tcp_conn_from_tap() if we reset the connection due to a
successful bind(2), and we'll get EACCES if the port number is low.

Pass to seccomp.sh a list of additional syscalls valgrind needs as
EXTRA_SYSCALLS in a new 'valgrind' make target, and add corresponding
support in seccomp.sh itself.
In test setup functions, start passt with valgrind, but not for
performance tests.
Add tests checking that valgrind exits without errors after all the
other tests in the group are done.

There's no value in keeping a separate timestamp for activity and for
aging of local binds, given that they have the same timeout. Reduce
that to a single timestamp, with a flag indicating the local bind.
Also use flags instead of separate int fields for loopback and
configured unicast address usage as source address.

...it became too hard to follow: split it off to

Using events and flags instead of states makes the implementation
much more straightforward: actions are mostly centered on events
that occurred on the connection rather than states.
An example is given by the ESTABLISHED_SOCK_FIN_SENT and
FIN_WAIT_1_SOCK_FIN abominations: we don't actually care about
which side started closing the connection to handle closing of
connection halves.
Split out the spliced implementation, as it has very little in
common with the "regular" TCP path.
Refactor things here and there to improve clarity. Add helpers
to trace where resets and flag settings come from.
No functional changes intended.

--debug can be a bit too noisy, especially as single packets or
socket messages are logged: implement a new option, --trace,
implying --debug, that enables all debug messages.

Build-time selection of AVX2 flags and routines is not practical for
distributions, but limiting AVX2 usage to checksum routines with
specific run-time detection doesn't allow for easy performance gains
from auto-vectorisation of batched packet handling routines.
For x86_64, build non-AVX2 and AVX2 binaries, and implement a simple
wrapper replacing the current executable with the AVX2 build if it's
available, and if AVX2 is supported by the current CPU.

It looks like glibc commonly implements clock_gettime(2) with
clock_gettime64(), and uses recv() instead of recvfrom(), send()
instead of sendto(), and sigreturn() instead of rt_sigreturn() on
armv6l and armv7l.
Adjust the list of system calls for armv6l and armv7l accordingly.
